An international medical transfer company which transports ill and injured patients via medically-configured jets, Angel MedFlight was founded in 2007 by Jeremy Freer, a then 25-year-old flight paramedic with a dream of helping patients and their families. “As a flight paramedic, I saw that the air medical transport system was inefficient and patients were not receiving the level of care and safety they needed,” says Freer. “I made the decision to change that and I’ve never looked back. From the very beginning, we have focused on our patients’ best interests, and that required a complete overhaul of the medical transport system. Today, we have we have nurses and case managers planning Bedside-to-Bedside™ transfers and an in-house legal team dedicated to assisting with insurance. We are committed to innovation in the name of patient care and safety, and it is an honor to be recognized for that.” “As a flight paramedic, I saw that the air medical transport system was inefficient and patients were not receiving the level of care and safety they needed,” says Freer. “I made the decision to change that and I’ve never looked back.
